2.20 a gallon in Ohio? Shit. It's 3.69 for E85 here, 4 bucks for normal gas. At 2.20 you're definitely saving money on gas. If you blend it to E40ish you can get a nice balance between performance and range, and I think that blend level tends to be good for fuel efficiency too.

My car runs through E85 like Joey Chestnut does Hot Dogs!! Really horrible MPG!

But wouldn't change it, the power is intoxicating!

I saw the video with Matt Farah for DRIVE where the car wasn't running properly even though they have flashed it like 300 times with new tunes and he loads a new tune like every day.
